We used to meet up with these dudes
Then we'd roll out on hopes and truths
And would ride around the park till its after dark
Pumpin' the trunk with the windows rolled up, puff
Well well well

General CommentThis song is about how music can be your drug. You can escape and bring yourself to a high through soul music. "Back in the day" you didnt sneak out at night to smoke or to hang with boys; you snuck out to have fun and listen to music. However, thats just how i interpret the song. Its a great song

General CommentLOL yeah I think this song is about smoking!!! Just because of the (PUFF) ( with the windows rolled up) (When we got home hope the dog dont bark)Dogs have a strong sense of smell especially when it comes to weed so you do the math. This is just my opinion. No facts!

I think she is trying to say back when she was younger, she could just go to the park and smoke, yeah, pot with some friends and they could laugh and have a good old time and all she really had to worry about is the dog barking and waking people up when she got home. Nowadays going to the park on your own is dangerous and cruising around smoking pot can lead to more dangerous things and intentions nowadays are not so innocent and fun-loving anymore. Now there are a lot more things to worry about when you want to just have a good time, and nothing is just so innocent anymore that you can just get high and have fun off the herb, and she misses "back in the day" when things were not so dangerous, and cool.
